Hong Kong Gunplay Films

[C4]

Hi there everyone.

I was just wondering if you could reccomend some good Hong kong gunplay films. Ive been into them for a while now and have got all the bigger titles like the John Woo and Tsui Haark films, and was hoping you could help me dig a little deeper into this category of film.

Cheers.

Full Contact, Full Alert, Gunmen, Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, Fatal Vacation, A day without policemen, City Warriors,The Dragon Family, Taxi Hunter, The Mission, The Big Heat, Fury.

Rich and Famous and Tragic Hero are 2 early gunplay flicks that are sometimes overlooked. They make a great companion piece to Woo's A Better Tomorrow movies in true HK style.

Woo does a mansion - Tragic Hero throws in a mansion 'and' a swimming pool
Woo uses Grenades? - Tragic Hero uses 'rocket propelled' grenades....
Woo kills a brother (Leslie Cheung RIP) - Tragic Hero takes out an orphanage...

Obvious cash-in aside, the 2 movies are a great homage, and far closer to the essence of hong kong gunplay movies that were circulating around the time.
